My preferred NYCA is JFK (SFO direct is Delta, Alaska, American) but it's not mandatory.
I currently have no status with any airline (after years with Air New Zealand) so I'm a free agent. Key things:
- Regular/reasonable direct flights
- Good lounge
- Any other perks
- Bonus points: I also fly regularly to YVR, YYZ & AKL.
As above who is paying? You or your employer (if applicable)?
Employers can have preferred airline/lower than retail prices.
How far ahead will the tickets be purchased?
Want flexibility with the ticket?
Schedules?
Class of travel?
FF miles are a by product of flying: not the reason
